Half CA (2023) S01

Two CA Aspirants from two Half CA different ends of the spectrum of the course, Archie and Niraj embark on the journey of one of the toughest courses and face the obstacles it has to offer.

Created by TVF, ‘Half CA’ primarily revolves around the experiences of Chartered Accountant (CA) aspirants, chronicling their journey from the beginning to the finals of the CA exams. The series skillfully depicts the struggles of commerce students, demonstrating that their challenges are no less than those experienced by science students. The concept is slightly different from what TVF has previously presented to its viewers, making this five-episode series with half-hour segments consistently engaging. The story centers around two childhood friends, Archie (Ahsaas Channa) and Vishal (Anmol Kajani). Archie is determined to become a CA and firmly believes that “assets and liabilities ko alag karna chemicals alag karne se behtar hain (separating assets and liabilities is better than separating chemicals).” Vishal, on the other hand, blindly follows her every lead. The parallel Half CA track follows Half CA Niraj Grover (Gyanendra Tripathi), who despite his sincere efforts, has failed two attempts at clearing the CA exams. The series highlights the anxiety, tough choices, sacrifices, pieces of advice, and disappointments faced by these characters during their journey. Creators Arunabh Kumar and Harish Peddinti, who previously wrote popular shows ‘Pitchers’ and ‘Hostel Daze,’ respectively, along with their writing team, effectively develop an appealing story with realistic characters.
